The ground state rotational spectrum of a hydrogen-bonded heterodimer formed from water and hydrogen cyanide has been detected and measured by using the technique of pulsed-nozzle, Fourier-transform microwave spectroscopy. Rotational constants ( B 0 , C 0 ) centrifugal distortion constants ( ∆ J , ∆ JK ) and, where appropriate, 14 N-, D- or 17 O-nuclear quadrupole coupling constants have been determined for the following isotopic species; H 2 16 O· · · HC 14 N, H 2 18 O· · · HC 14 N, H 2 16 O· · · HC 15 N, HD 16 O· · · HC 15 N, D 2 16 O· · · HC 15 N, H 2 16 O· · · DC 15 N, HD 16 O· · · DC 15 N and H 2 17 O· · · HC 15 N. An analysis of these spectroscopic constants indicates that the heterodimer is effectively planar, with a pair of equivalent protons and the arrangement H 2 O· · · HCN. The intermolecular interaction is through a hydrogen bond between HCN and H 2 O and the distance between the O and C nuclei r (O· · · C) is 3.157 Å (1Å = 10 -10 m). An interpretation of the nuclear quadrupole coupling constants leads to the conclusion that arccos <cos 2 Φ > ½ ≈ 51°, where Φ is the angle between the local C 2 axis of H 2 O and the a -axis of the complex; and that arccos <cos 2 θ > ½ ≈ 10°, where θ is the angle between the HCN axis and the a -axis. The intermolecular stretching force constant k σ = 11 Nm -1 has been determined from ∆ J .

The microwave spectra of 17OPF3 and 33SPF3 were investigated by Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy and the 17O and 33S quadrupole coupling constants were determined. The 17O coupling constant is compared with several others from related phosphine oxides to characterize the π-bonding in these systems.

The rotational spectrum of the 33S dimethylsulfoxide in natural isotopic abundance has been studied using molecular beam Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy. Rotational and quadrupole coupling constants could be extracted from the spectra. They were found to be A = 7017.5456(16) MHz, B = 6894.5117(17) MHz, C=4218.14115(84) MHz, χaa-15.720(18) MHz, χbb= -17.045(23), and χcc = 32.765(25) MHz.
